SFA website reported:- Scotland under-15s conceded a goal with the last kick of the ball to lose 4-3 to Switzerland in an International Challenge Match in Kerzers.

Dunfermline's Scott Sutherland scored twice and Rangers' Samuel Jamieson also got on the scoresheet as Scotland took the lead on three occasions, but Switzerland responded each time with a goal.

Against the run of play, the hosts snatched victory with a breakaway goal which was immediately followed by the full-time whistle.

Scotland take on Switzerland again on Thursday.  Scotland under-15 national coach Scot Gemmill said: "We played well for large parts of the game and I was pleased with how the players tried to follow the intructions I gave them.

"Obviously it's never good to score three goals and still lose but I'm sure the boys will have learned from that.

"We need to learn to manage the games better and take less risks in the latter stages of matches."
